You may make a Flaming Dr. Pepper by gently placing a shot of rum and amaretto liqueur into a glass of beer after setting it on fire. Although it tastes exactly like Dr. Pepper, you should exercise caution since Bacardi 151 rum is 151 proof, which makes it flammable.

Delicious! We loved this. The sauce first looked too watery, but, once I shredded the chicken and mixed everything up it was perfect. Sometimes chicken in a slow cooker can be dry, but, this was juicy and flavorful! We had tacos and the next day I ate it in a bowl with cauliflower rice. I did reduce the salt from 1 tbsp to a little over a tsp based on our taste.
Super easy and delicious. I didn’t find it too spicy at all so I may bump up the hot sauce next time. Good hot and cold!
